Liu Ying smiled softly: "My son and daughter-in-law have always been kind to us two old people."
"You can't calculate it in terms of money." Cheng Muhai smiled honestly and said: "It is enough for the children to be filial. We have food, drink, and a big house, so we are very satisfied."
"You can't say that!" Shui Genniang muttered: "Some people make a lot of money, and just give some small benefits to the old people, and the old people will be satisfied and grateful. I would like to advise you two, you have to leave a little money.
I see Ahai and Achang always chewing steamed buns and making mincemeat. If Ayuan and the other two really care about you, they should provide for you with plenty of food and meat. Being a parent is not easy. They poop and urinate all the time.
When children grow up, they should be nicer to their parents."
The expressions of other old neighbors and clan members changed and they spoke one after another.
"It should be better. In the past, it was a last resort for families to be poor, right? Now that the conditions are better, we can't always be like this. It's been a difficult life for the elderly, and we can't continue to suffer."
"Don't pamper the young ones too much. They have made a lot of money now. It's time for them to be filial to you."
"Will you live here from now on? It's time to ask them for money. Don't be too frugal. Young people have a lot of money to eat, and leaving you here to eat steamed buns would be unfilial."
Cheng Muhai's expression was not so good, and he said solemnly: "It's nothing! I have been with my son for so many years, and he has always given me money. My daughter-in-law has opened a photo studio, and she has an income of more than a thousand yuan every month. That's all
It’s fixed money for our old couple. They buy us clothes all year round and give us a lot of money when we travel. We rely on them to eat and use their food, and we can save money around us. What else do you want? Right?”
"That's right." Liu Ying said with a smile: "We can't be too greedy, right? You see, my daughter-in-law paid for the construction of this big villa. She also took the money and asked us to go to the South Island after a while.
Travel. Ayuan and the others have always been very filial."
After everyone heard this, they changed their minds one after another.
"If that's the case, that's pretty good."
"That's right! It's more than a thousand a month, and we can spend two or three months here!"
"There will definitely be some leftovers for buying vegetables and fish! I say sister-in-law Ying, don't save too much in the future. A Yuan and the others have made a lot of money, so there is no need to save!"
Cheng Muhai's face was still a little stinky, and he said: "Brother Chang and I are not very good at making food. The two old men are not picky people, so they just buy something to eat. Now that the family members are back, naturally they won't save anymore.
With."
"Thank you for your concern." Liu Ying chuckled and said, "I'll add some food to him and Chang Bo later. Let's take the bacon home and steam it. It's a little specialty, it's nothing. I'll give it to everyone to try.
Taste of the imperial capital.”
Everyone took their cigarettes and bacon, and Le Diandian went back.
Cheng Muhai couldn't help lowering his voice: "There are always a few people who talk nonsense and wish that other people's homes would collapse all day long."
"Shh!" Liu Ying frowned and shook her head: "There are all kinds of people in this world. How many years have we lived here, and you knew it on the first day? Most people are kind-hearted, so we just keep it in our hearts."
Cheng Muhai turned around and entered the room, saying: "You go down and steam some bacon to eat, and stir-fry some Chinese cabbage. I'll pick Brother Chang back up."
"Where has Uncle Chang gone?" Liu Yinghu asked: "Why haven't you seen him? Where have you and him been living these days?"
Cheng Muhai pointed to the yard outside and explained: "In the beginning, I lived in the corner over there, with two small tile-roofed houses, which were built very well and densely. I was reluctant to demolish them, but boss Liu refused, saying that it would affect the villa's appearance.
, so it was demolished a few days ago. Brother Chang and I live on the first floor of the house, with two wooden beds."
"Is it cold?" Liu Ying asked worriedly: "I don't think there is a kang maker in any room. Isn't it freezing at night?"
"Of course not." Cheng Muhai chuckled and explained: "You can burn firewood in the room, throw it into the small fireplace, and the surroundings will be warm. We can burn a dozen logs at night and sleep until dawn. Chen Min sent me a gift two days ago
Several heaters came over, and one was also placed in the room on the first floor. We turned it on at night and slept well, but our skin was a bit dry."
Liu Ying nodded in relief and said with a smile: "I'm so dazzled by all the new decorations now. I don't understand many of them."
"Liu Xiaoyu found someone to do it." Cheng Muhai whispered: "It probably cost a lot of money."
Liu Ying was not very distressed and whispered: "Ling Ling earns a lot now, so it doesn't matter. We really need a house in our hometown, otherwise it would be ridiculous. We can't stay in the imperial capital forever. In the future, our grandchildren will grow up."
, they have their own families, so they probably can't care about us. With this big villa, we have a way out. Ayuan and Lingling are filial, so naturally they won't dislike us. But we can't handle the large number of people in our family in the future!
When a grandson marries a granddaughter-in-law, we will always tremble. How can a young man like two old guys?"
Cheng Muhai looked around and said warmly: "The construction is really good. Dozens of workers worked hard for several months! You and I should be satisfied with such a good and beautiful escape route. A Yuan agreed to the construction because he hoped that his hometown could
There is a house that looks nice. After all, this is our hometown!"
The old couple looked at each other and smiled happily.
Over the years, our family has climbed several big steps - that's enough!
Liu Ying suddenly remembered the original purpose of the conversation and couldn't help but ask: "What did you just say? What happened to Chang Bo?"
Cheng Muhai was stunned for a moment, then sighed irritably.
"It's okay if I don't say it, but I'm very angry when I say it. That bastard Tian Shuan is simply rebellious! What a bastard!"
Liu Ying broke off the big leaves of Chinese cabbage and asked, "What happened again? Don't he and his fat wife not want Uncle Chang?"
Cheng Muhai explained: "A few days ago, he heard from somewhere that Brother Chang had returned to his hometown, so he came over on a motorcycle. He told Brother Chang that his eldest son was already married, and the apartment in the second phase of Wangjiangyuan he bought was given to him.
The eldest son was married. Now that the younger son was getting married, the other party demanded a bride price of 100,000 yuan, otherwise he would not be able to marry him off. His family could not afford that much money, so he kept asking Chang Bo
If he takes out the money he has earned over the years, if his grandson wants to marry his granddaughter-in-law, he must pay for it, otherwise it will be all his fault for his grandson to be single in the future."
"Bah!" Liu Ying snorted coldly: "In the past seven or eight years, have they cared about Chang Bo's life and death? If A Yuan hadn't kindly taken Chang Bo to the imperial capital, the old man might have been gone! He was already in his eighties.
He is an old man and all the money around him has been taken away. Are you still going to let him live?!"
Cheng Muhai fumed angrily: "Brother Chang's salary in the past few years, wasn't it poached by them every once in a while with excuses? I can't even count them! They say he eats A Yuan's and lives A Yuan's, and doesn't need to keep any money around him at all -
—Just like a robber!"
Liu Ying asked worriedly: "Where is Uncle Chang? Is he hiding? Where is he hiding?"
"Hey!" Cheng Muhai said solemnly: "Tian Shuan's fat wife is very powerful. She followed him the next day, crying and scolding Tian Shuan for being useless. She even shouted in front of Brother Chang that she wanted to divorce Tian Shuan, saying that it would be hard to follow him.
For the rest of my life, I couldn’t even afford the bride price for my son’s daughter-in-law. Being a human being was meaningless, so I might as well just get divorced. Tian Shuan kept urging Brother Chang to pay for it. Brother Chang was so annoyed that he paid a few dollars.
One thousand yuan. But they complained that it was not enough and asked Brother Chang to find a way to borrow it from me."
